<h1>Thread Safety</h1>

Vorbisfile's libvorbisfile may be used safely in a threading environment
so long as thread access to individual <a
href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instances is serialized.  
<ul>

<li>Only one thread at a time may enter a function that takes a given <a
href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance, even if the
functions involved appear to be read-only.<p>

<li>Multiple threads may enter
libvorbisfile at a given time, so long as each thread's function calls
are using different <a href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a>
instances. <p>

<li>Any one <a
href="OggVorbis_File.html">OggVorbis_File</a> instance may be used safely from multiple threads so long as only one thread at a time is making calls using that instance.<p>
</ul>
